Overview of Assessment
This unit of competency could be assessed in the workplace or a close simulation of the workplace environment, provided that simulated or project-based assessment techniques fully replicate building design workplace conditions, materials, activities, responsibilities and procedures. Holistic or project-based assessment with other related units is recommended.
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability to:
• liaise with client and external stakeholders in the development of a design presentation
• prepare and facilitate a design presentation to industry standard
• communicate design ideas and solutions with sketches and images.
Assessment Tasks
Assessment tasks in this course are either formative (F) or summative (S). Formative tasks provide the basis for ongoing feedback and can be considered essential building blocks for the more substantial summative assessment tasks. Summative assessment tasks in this unit are graded.
To demonstrate competency in this course you need to complete each one of the following pieces of assessment to a satisfactory standard.
You will receive feedback with verbal and/or written evaluation of your progress within class time. The submitted projects will be assessed with a quality indicator that relates to separate components of the project and the overall outcome.
